ARLINGTON, Virginia — Leonardo DRS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS) announced that it has secured a position on a three-year Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle valued at up to $500 million, awarded by Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF-401).
The multi-award IDIQ contract structure establishes a rapid-procurement mechanism allowing Leonardo DRS to compete for individual task orders to field its RADA tactical radar portfolio and integrated expeditionary sensing systems. The contract supports JIATF-401’s directive to accelerate the deployment of vetted, low-altitude air defense and counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) technologies to operational units, protecting deployed and expeditionary forces against Group 1–3 UAVs, loitering munitions, and indirect fire threats.
